This thread is to discuss your expectations of Mahou Shojo Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 1st (due for release in the Winter of 2009) and to speculate as to what story elements will be used. Edit: The movie release date may in fact be early 2009 (as in Winter 2009 to mean around Jan, Feb, Mar of 2009).

A discussion thread (with poll) will be created when the movie is actually released (AnimeSuki would consider it currently as unlicensed) so please use this thread to discuss your expectations of the announced movie.

Reason: Update on movie release date

Well... I certainly have mixed feelings about this. I always prefer whole seasons over (even multiple) films. However, it is good to know MGLN is still going somewhere... somewhere where Nanoha and Fate are still the main characters.

I'll post something more in-depth later when I have the time, including lots of conjecture!

A friend of mine is telling me Moonphase says it's this winter, not winter 2009. Can someone double check?

We really need cleaner scans.

I'm hoping they mean Jan, Feb, March 2009 as "Winter".

Edit: Preston, given the "Moe" flood going on, they had to go back to 1st season. What scares me is that the next season may only have the Ace trio as a cameo a la Mai in Mai-Otome. That would be just wrong.

*can't believe her wish has been granted*
That's absolutely crazy! In a good way... Finally more MSLN announced.
First a movie about the first season and maybe more later... Anyway, those few pic' are just great, I think the time to wait before the release of the movie will kill me >_>"...

Too bad that we're going to have to wait until they decide to stop making these movies to find out.

Nope, my bad, that certain scan does not relates to Movie 1st; that's announcement for "StrikerS Sound Stage X" that's going to be released at next Comiket.
As you may notice, it doesn't have "Magic Girl Lyrical Nanoha" on it's title, and scan says that only StS characters (= No Nanoha Fate Hayate etc) are going to appear in SSX.

I know that. That's what I'm complaining about.

I'd MUCH rather see a 4th season with more Teana and Ginga's combat cyborg special forces squad than an alternate retelling of the first two seasons.

Its rage inducing to see that pic dangled in front of my face while this news is breaking, knowing that these movies are going to be their focus for the next two years and that we probably won't be seeing a 4th season until late 2010.

Fuck this. Give us a 4th season. Or at least make the movies post-StrikerS.
